My story

Years ago, I moved from Sweden to Australia to be with my partner. Starting a new life in a new country, knowing only him, was a big change. As much as I loved it here, I missed my family and close friends, and that became especially clear when I became a mother of two children under three.

I was determined to do it all “right”: a clean home, healthy meals, daily outings for the kids, exercise, staying connected with people. Every meal was eaten in a hurry, digestion an afterthought, rest an afterthought too.

The doctors said all my tests were normal and there was nothing wrong with me. I felt so alone. Why was I so exhausted? Why did I feel sick every time I ate? The doctors were the people I relied on to “fix” me if something was wrong, and now they couldn’t help.

I had to slow down, eating and moving slower, because I simply didn’t have the energy to keep going at the pace I’d been keeping. Gradually, I started to feel better, and I could eventually enjoy eating again. But the moment I felt better, I went straight back to my old patterns, wanting to do everything just like before. Time and time again, my body objected and made me listen. It’s funny, isn’t it, how we tend to ignore the subtle signals, and ignore what we know is right for us, until we’re in pain and our body forces us to listen.

Now I understand why I didn’t want to be still. My thoughts kept telling me I was lazy, that I wasn’t enough, and that I needed to prove otherwise. I was driven by fear. I believe this is a conditioning many of us carry from the society we live in: we’re validated for achievement and exhaustion, and judged for doing “nothing.”

My big aha moment

When I couldn’t find the answer from the doctor, I started to explore different natural therapies: a naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist and kinesiologist. Piece by piece, it all came together into one big “aha moment.” Healing isn’t just physical. It comes from the inside. It’s how we think, feel and behave, how we relate to ourselves and others, and every element of our lifestyle. No one else can fix us; we hold the main part and the responsibility in it. That’s why connection to ourselves is so vital, so we can hear, feel and understand what we actually need. There’s no “one size fits all.”

How I see wellbeing

I’m a holistic coach, which means I see you as a whole, interconnected being. Your thoughts, emotions, body and spirit constantly influence each other, so we can’t look at them separately if we want real change.

I’m also a big believer that prevention is better than cure. When you look after yourself with enough sleep, nourishing food, movement, connection with people and time for stillness, you give discomfort far less room to take hold. Once it has, it takes much longer to find your way back to well. Your health is the one thing you can’t do without, so it’s worth investing in your wellness before you’re forced to invest in your illness.

How I work

I offer one-to-one Life Coaching and Reiki sessions, and occasional Qi Gong classes. Each is its own experience, but all of them come from the same place: a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space where every part of you is welcome.

My training

In 2020, I began studying energy healing and NLP, and I was hooked. Since then, I’ve trained in Reiki, NLP, Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy, Enneagram, EFT Tapping and other energy work. (See qualifications below)

I still catch myself pushing too hard sometimes. Old habits are old habits. But I’ve gotten so much better at catching it, and at listening.

Human behaviour and energy work fascinate me, and I can’t stop learning about them. It’s not just a career, it’s a genuine passion.

Let’s find your aha moment

I’d love to help you find yours: that moment when you realise the way you’ve been doing things isn’t the only way, and that the answers you’re looking for might already be inside you.

You were born to be alive. Let’s find your way back to feeling it.
